Robert Nixon (artist)

Robert Nixon (7 July 1939 - 22 October 2002) was an artist who worked on several British comics. In "The Beano" he took over Roger the Dodger from Ken Reid and Lord Snooty from Dudley D. Watkins in the 1960s, and revived Grandpa, another Ken Reid creation, in the early 1970s. He left DC Thomson shortly afterwards, and started to work at IPC Magazines (Fleetway), drawing such characters as Kid Kong, Frankie Stein and Gums. He returned to DC Thomson in 1984 after being asked to by new Beano editor Euan Kerr, and began drawing Roger the Dodger again, as well as creating Ivy the Terrible in 1985. He would go on to draw Beryl the Peril in The Topper and Korky the Cat in The Dandy later on in the decade, and continue drawing them throughout the 1990s. His Ivy the Terrible strips are currently being reprinted.
